New York Evening sun.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 9.-TwentY-tour
years ago yesterday one Of the most re-
markable trials in al bistoly took place
in this city. 1t was held in Libby FIis-
on. Under the leadership of Colonel
Strait, who is now q book seller in
a little Indiana town, plot was
formed among the Union prisoners in
Libby Prison to effect a general escape.
The plot not only involved the Liberation
of the mess of prisoners, but the capture
OF the guard and a battery at the prison,
and the release of the Union prisoners at
Belle Isle, across the River James. The
burning of Richmond and capture of the
Confederate Cabinet was also part OF
the plan. Nine officers were in the IN
dertaking, and it promised to be sue
cess.
The day before the start was to be made
one Of the officers betrayed the plot. A
courtmartial was at once held and he was
found guilty. AS the vote was being
taken on the question OF guilt Strait was
seen to be twisting a rope out of pieces
of calico. When the verdict was an
nounced he said: "There can be but one
sentence, gentlemen, and am ready to
execute it."
he advanced with the rope. The pris-
oner turned pale.
At this cavalry officer of the name of
Louis Thompson stepped in front of the
prisoner and said: "This court is not
a legal one, and you dare not hang this
man."
Strait insisted that the culprit be
hanged. "He has had every chance for
his life and the verdict is just one. He
shall be hanged down this hatchway."
Other men Joined Thompson, and the
moderate view prevailed.
"Preserve the recort of this court"
said he, "and when we get cut take it to
Secretary Stanton, and If this man has
done wrong, we all know the old man
will punish him."
The next day the traitor was removed
from the prison. The record was kept,
and when Strait did escape few months
| later he took it with him.
IL due time it was placed in Stanton's
hands, and when the betrayer was tx
changed the War Secretary hsd him dis
missed from the army. Andy Johnson
restored him, and he is still in the service
Those who know the affair will not re-
veal his name.
Thompson was killed with Custer
Strait and an officer named Hamilton,
now on the frontier, are the only ones
living of the nine officers, except the man
who betrayed them and came so near be-
ing hanged that sultry August day with
the pieces of sn old calico bed quit.
